I have a Dell Vostro 410. Its a few years old now and I have noticed that more and more it doesn't read my USB memory sticks!I have 4 ports and after plugging them into all of them a few times it finally reads it

what would cause this? as it always reads it in the end but very rarely does it read it straight away

I have found that noname flashdrives are difficult for a PC to read. I think it has to do with the thumbdrive having a low grade onboard memory controller whereas name brand flash drives light up almost instantly.

Also, an older motherboard chipset may have difficulty reading a newer USb stick simply because the bios may be lacking in older model motherboards. Some times a bios update fixes this issue and sometimes not.
